You put off pre-ordering X-O Manowar #1 twenty nine years ago?

Prior to this book being published in 1992, where had you actually read a story about a barbarian who is abducted by aliens, steals a living suit of space armor, and returns to earth 1,600 years later? Where exactly had you read the story before and found it to be be better written?

Would love to read that story. Please share.

It's just silly.

The proud owner of that stack of X-O #1s that sold on eBay a couple of years ago has to be happy now.
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.

Ah c'mon man, if you wanted to make fun of the guy, just call him a moron and be done. He didn't have to suffer :P
I've been looking everywhere for the ultra-rare Turok vs Blister issue. Anybody able to help me out?

Agreed that the new 2020 X-O Manowar series is terrible.

Any time. I had actually been watching that auction as well. But it ended way higher than the price I was willing to pay per book without
having a good idea of the average condition
If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.
